To Evaluate the Effectiveness of the Use of a Novel Crosslinking Hyaluronan Hydrogel on the Prevention of the Adhesion Occurrence After Anterior Talofibular Ligament Repair Surgery

Recruiting now · Not applicable · Has a placebo group

Conditions studied: Anterior Talofibular Ligament Injury

In brief

The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of the use of a novel crosslinking hyaluronan hydrogel on the prevention of the adhesion occurrence after anterior talofibular ligament repair surgery. With applying crosslinking hyaluronan hydrogel, the range of motion (ROM) of the ankle is expected to be better than sham group.
